Keep Warm/Cancel When pressure cooking is complete, the
pressure cooker will automatically switch to
Keep Warm. The WARM indicator light will
illuminate. To manually switch to Keep Warm
and/or cancel any cooking process, press the
Keep Warm/Cancel button. The maximum Keep
Warm time is 4 hours.
Cooking Pot Inside the removable cooking pot are two sets
of markings. One side is marked “2/3 MAX PC”,
which indicates the maximum fill line when
cooking any food, other than rice in the pressure
cooker. The other side has markings for cooking
rice. When pressure cooking rice, never fill the
pressure cooker more then 1/2 full. To cook rice
greater then 1/2 full, utilize the glass lid and not
the pressure cooking lid.

Markings
Preparing White Rice When measuring rice, ONLY USE THE RICE
MEASURE CUP PROVIDED; DO NOT USE A
STANDARD MEASURING CUP. Use the Rice
Measure Cup, along with the pot markings to
make perfect rice every time. For example, when
making 6 cups rice, use 6 rice cup measures of
rice and fill with water to the “6” mark. When
pressure cooking rice, do not go past the 6-cup
“RC” marking, as indicated on the inside of the
removable cooking pot. The combined volume
of rice and water must not exceed the 6-cup
marking as shown under “RC” markings on the
inside of the removable cooking pot. If you
desire a greater volume of rice, follow the
recommended water-to-rice ratio and use the
glass lid, select Rice, and cook for 30- 40
minutes. Check for doneness after 30 minutes.
Do not use the rice cooker timer as the timer is
only applicable when cooking under pressure.
Since you are using the glass lid and not the
pressure lid, you must use a separate timer.
As a general rule, when cooking 2 cups (or
below) of uncooked rice, use 1 tablespoon of
butter or oil. For measurements greater than 2
cups, use 2 tablespoons of butter or oil. This will
prevent foaming during the cooking process.
